The recession may end towards the end of this year, but we all know that unemployment is a lagging indicator and will get worse before it gets better, reaching its peak sometime next year. 

I am asking what do you think that peak will be.

Personally, I would not be surprised if it hits between 12 to 13% before it will all be finally over.

More jobs lost in June than expected; official unemployment rate rises to 9.5%, highest since 1983.

I can't say jmfcst's forecast of a recovery in the third quarter (or the early part of the fourth) is looking too good...  Tongue
